Generic Tray Creator Script (with rounded bin floors)

To accomplish this using only command line operations: First ensure that you have `python` (python version is specified above), `OpenSCAD` and SolidPython (`SolidPython` on Windows): **If already installed Python 2.7.x** 1. **Clone** a new version of `openscad` <https://github.com/SolidCode/OpenSCAD/> or simply install openscad by downloading here:http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html Make sure it gets into the system PATH. Otherwise specify its path in generic_tray.py (lines near `from open_scad import OpenScadScript`) \# (4) The last part to clone: clone from the main repository at # GitHub, not by copying any preexisting copies # https://github.com/SolidCode/OpenSCAD/ (for open_scad 2019.05) You could then manually download solid from https://github.com/SolidCode/SolidPython and paste in the python version specific folder or in another one on a known path to solid for e.g, this would place `solid` inside ```csh /path/containing/my/genericscrap/trunk/solid ``` Then: clone or manually pull (if already installed, use that): python SolidPython/setup.py install (will make 'open\_scad' accessible) In a project where one plans on running "generictoy", just run: ``` # The solid python library will automatically copy openScad from this to here: python SolidPython/SolidInstallOpenScad/ /path/to/the/open/scad/install (on my WinXP that results in: C:\python27\Lib\site-packages\SolidPython OpenScad Install/ openSCAD.py, __init__.py) ``` 1. Then you are able to generate tray from `solidgeneric\_tray.py` 5) Then the solid command: ``` python genericscrap/solids/Generictoy.py [-s][-w=40,70][ -h 30][depth] 20,45 ``` Note: It would seem I wrote that wrong as there is one space in every item (except where -h should not exist). 4. To save yourself some frustration use "tr" or tab-completion
